CRUS OCELLE MEUM VELLE, 11th century love song from Northern Italy ∾ Murmur Mori (medieval music)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- A melody and profane lyrics from 1000 years ago, contained in a single manuscript from Northern Italy composed between Lodi and Novara. The musical notation above the Middle Latin text of manuscript Vat.Lat.3251 is semidiastematic and the pitch of the note F is indicated. Ours is the first complete recording of this song.
Under green foliage filtering the light of the morning sun, or perhaps within the walls of a cold and calm 11th century scriptorium, an anonymous hand wrote the carmen amatorium “Crus ocelle meum velle”, a love lyric that is almost hermetic in its language rich in allusions and esotericism: a sweet succession of melancholic and marvelous images blooming heavily in their innocent desperation, those who listen to the verses are invited to love before losing youth's bloom and rotting, and the betrayed faith is compared to a brutally cut oak which, even if replanted, is no longer going to generate new leaves.
Lyrics and Music: BAV, Vat.Lat.3251, second half of the 11th century, Lodi/Novara (Northern Italy)
Musical reconstruction: Silvia Kuro
Thanks to Professors Davide Daolmi and Adriano Cassano for revising the translation from the Latin lyrics.
English translated lyrics:
Tear away my stump, love, but with a secret heart not of stone, somewhere distant and later evident.
Sweet is love whose clamor resonates through the ether, whose song is painful for me and shakes me from the inside (entering my bowels).
Spare me, I beg you, for it is decent if you do not want to ruin me! Undressing I undress, joking I joke, in the way you used to play.
As long as your youth is demanded, come to me, for when it is rotten it will wear out and lose its value.
While you asked for jackets and shirts to be given to you, and the sandals you wanted did not lack buckles.
Oh, avoid such a serious crime, I told you and I tell you again, I am not the same one to whom you promised mutual trust.
The felled oak and the faith betrayed are almost alike, because when cut down and replanted they do not produce new leaves.

Vocês sempre fazem as escolhas certas, ter só a flauta como instrumentação foi de muito bom gosto.

Sempre molto bravi/e e le canzoni risultano ancor più suggestive grazie ai luoghi in cui le eseguite, che trovo molto belli ma pure molto stimolanti dal punto di vista storico/culturale.

I imagined a small family of people during the Ice age, a normal wandering day. It was a beautiful match to this song.

I love the music and performance however wonder about the symbolism in the video. Can you explain its meaning in relation to the song? Are you Satanists or Occultists?
Thank you. We are neither of the two things, we are not interested in certain topics. One of the messages of the lyric is the transience of life and feelings; and so the skulls and trees destroyed by human stupidity represent death, while the newborn fox cub jumping on the cut oak, the new green of the forest and the continuous flow of water represent life. 🌹
@@MurmurMori thanks for the clarification
Bravo guys! Very good execution of this beautiful song.
I appreciate your effort to keep genuine music alive. You people are very important! Keep up the good work.
Grazie di cuore 🌹
Can you play "a que por muy gran fremosura n. 384" ? It is my favorite medieval song!
It's a very beautiful cantigas, without a doubt, but we don't study the Spanish repertoire. Plus there are already so many well-made versions of it. 🌹
